WPP, the world's largest advertising company, has named former BT CEO Philip Jansen as its new chair, succeeding Roberto Quarta. Jansen will join WPP's board in September and assume the role on January 1. This appointment follows WPP's organic revenue drop in the first quarter, attributed to decreased spending from tech clients, a downturn in China, and the loss of business from Pfizer.
